    Summary

    The apocalypse has come and gone, and against all odds, Pharloom remains standing. The time has come for Hornet to return to Hallownest, accompanied by friends and allies: Shakra hopes to explore the mythical land beyond the wastes, and properly lay to rest a member of her own tribe; Lace fears unraveling without the aid of a Weaver, while contending with the immensity of a future free of her mother’s threads; and the Green Prince lives only only to spite the Citadel, passively seeking a more honorable end than might be found in the rubble of his homeland.

    Meanwhile, Hornet returns from Pharloom with magic and knowledge that might aid in the slow recovery of Hallownest and Deepnest–and perhaps offer the chance to call home the sibling she once thought lost to her forever.

    Summary

    Hornet, desiring nothing more than to relax amidst the still corpse of her kingdom, is pursued by a tribe foreign to Hallownest's borders. Further from home than she has ever been, she must learn to fend for herself amidst a civilization of wasps. As soon as she finds a way, she will flee from this village with haste... What reason would she ever have to stay in a place such as this?

    Summary

    Runt hatched the last of Huntress's brood: small, weak, and destined to die in the harsh wilds of Pharloom without the support of the brood. That's just how the world works, nature red in tooth and claw. But sometimes, a completely different world reaches out a helping claw. A foreign stranger introduces the little hunter to another way to live, where "I" is not weak without "us," and people have more to offer than the strength of their shell alone.

    *****

    Decades after the defeat of the Radiance, the Abyss is at peace and the rebuilding of Hallownest has ushered in a new era of stability, one free of divine machinations. Until Hornet is taken. The Hollow Knight mounts a rescue only to find their efforts unnecessary and not entirely welcome. They just want to go home. Too bad there's a pesky little apocalypse standing in their way, and a wild Pharloom bug intent on treating them like some sort of... role model.

    Summary

    The journey of a vessel who escapes the slaughter of their kin and makes it out into the wider world beyond Hallownest; the trauma of the events and a stubborn denial making them promptly forget their past and their siblings.

    An unknown force calls them back to the kingdom of their creation, and they’re torn between investigating the strangely familiar visions and sights that plague them, and burying it deep in the recesses of their memory yet again; all the while meeting people on the way and trying to navigate the unsteady waves of friendship.
